The social media presence of a company can shape it image to the public. Therefore you have to make sure you chose the right platforms and use them in a way that gets your message across.

Sometimes companies keep it straightforward and tweet about their products and various updates. They might even tweet responses at customers who have send them grievances or asked questions about the product through this platform. Other companies chose a more sassy approach by getting involved in social conversations through the official company twitter account. If done correctly these responses can go viral and get a lot of attention to your company. In addition to that it conveys a message to your clients, that you are a fun company with great ideas. The approach you chose depends on your public relations strategy.

Promoting a lifestyle through images

Instagram is a great way to show the artistic side of your company. You can use both Instagram videos and photographs to convey this message. You can make your product a part of a lifestyle brand by posting picture of it being used that way.

Another way in which you can appear more accessible to your clients is by asking them to send in pictures of themselves using your product which you can post on your Instagram. This is a great way of building your public relationships with your clients.

]]>If you are a prominent businessman in your country or someone who has achieved great heights in the arts, you might find yourself living a celebrity lifestyle. This life can be somewhat tricky when the public gets involved in your personal affairs. You will also find your public appearances or decisions made in your professional capacity being scrutinised by the media. A misstep can also lead to the downfall of your career. Therefore if you are a person of this stature, it’s important to have good public relations with the people. Therefore we advice you to adhere to some of the following steps and, take precautions in protecting your public image.

Staying ahead of the trends

As a celebrity you will find yourself going to many public events. The way you dress for these events is imperative to the impression you will be making on the public. Therefore make an effort to stay ahead of the trends when you dress up. You can also hire a stylist to find the right outfits for you for these occasions.

The clothes you wear and the style you emulate can be very telling to some people, about your levels of success. At the same time, given your social stature you will have access to so many designer clothes that ordinary people would not be able to afford. Therefor while appreciating this fact you should definitely have some fun with this experience of dressing up.

Making the right decisions

Everything you do as a celebrity becomes public knowledge. You might have children looking up to you and emulating you. Therefore you have an obligation make good choices and be a good role model.

Furthermore if you are a businessman you have to realise that the decisions you make can potentially impact thousands of lives. Therefore try and make your business environmentally friendly and treat your employees well.

Maintaining your privacy

You will have to make sure that your privacy is well protected. This will include your family and especially your children by extension. One thing you can do to protect their privacy is to not feature them on your social media.

You should also make sure that your social media platforms are very well secured. If you are a public figure they might be targeted to hacking where people will try and gain control of your platforms and post various messages to your followers under the guise of being you. This can be very dangerous to your image so make sure that your privacy settings are set at optimal levels.

]]>If your company has dealt with a publicity crisis recently you might want to know how to deal with such an issue. A publicity crisis is when something has gone wrong with your product or there is an incident that is damaging to the reputation of your company. These situations can spread quite fast on social media and it would be best for you to act fast and do some damage control before the thing gets out of hand. We have made a list of a few things you can do in such an instance.

Issue an apology

The best thing you can do and probably the most essential first step is to issue an apology. You can do so in person or send a note with a basket of goodies. Doing so in person really convey that you care. If you decide to do so personally you can assign representatives from the company to carry out the apology on behalf the company. However even if you were apologizing personally it would be better to publish the story online as well. This is because so much information is shared online and it can really affect your company’s image if this story is published online without mentioning how it was rectified.

Replace the product

If the crisis is a faulty product, you can pay for the company to have it replaced. This is because it’s important that the customers get the value for their money. Therefore if they bought a product that is not sufficiently working it’s your obligation to have it replaced.

The promptness of your company’s response in providing goods of this nature will also impact its public image and the opinion that people have of your company.

Redact the statement

Sometimes companies fall short of the standard expected of them by making wrongful statements online. Sometimes these statements are unintentionally offensive to various groups of people. The most innocent intentions can backfire on social media. These statements can offend numerous individuals for various reasons and therefore you have to be very mindful when posting things online.

Even if you are mindful sometimes a certain statement can rub people the wrong way and you will have to issue a statement of apology for it. You will also have to publicly redact the statement by removing it from social media and issuing a second statement where you acknowledge the fact that you have redacted the aforementioned statement. You can post this statement on your own social media platform like twitter.
